Filipino-American boxer Nonito “The Filipino Flash” Donaire Jr. remains king of the bantamweight class based on ESPN’s divisional rankings.
Donaire, who recently defended his WBC and WBO bantamweight crowns, got ESPN.com’s nod even after an umimpressive fight where challenger Argentine Omar Narvaez chose to simply defend himself.
“Donaire did everything he could to make it a fight and please the fans at New York's Madison Square Garden Theater, but Narvaez refused to fight and turned in a horrible performance,” said ESPN.com.
Donaire will soon leave the bantamweight class to challenge big names in the super bantamweight division.
One of his possible opponents is Wilfredo Vasquez Jr.
Should the Vasquez fight push through in early 2012, it will be for the vacant WBO super bantamweight title.
